injuries

[fordman]

thursday i think it was i made a trip to dads. and was using the torch while wearign my holy tennis shoes. and a sprak got in my shoe between my toes and then under my toes and fott. i got two small hole sin my left second toe near where my foot starts and a small hole in the second toe. then yeaseterday i was pulling soem wires and hoses down from the top of ahot water tank i have stored. and a gas filler neck from a 71 bump came crashing down right on top of that same toe. it skinned it up through my same holy shoes and socks. and may have made it swell up right there too. .

i was trying to sleep last night. and i was getting shootign pains every few minutes in my toe. unless i sat up on the side of the couch. i finally grabbed my third toe and pulled it towards my big toe. and the pain would go away. i finally ended up using white first ai tape to tape my second and third toe over towards my big toe so the pain would go away and i could sleep. but today. i have to walk funny to keep my toe from getting pressure on it while i walk.

well nothing intresting here. just thought i would not post a picture of nasty looking toes. so time to move on.

sorry that you hurt yourself like that ,hope you heal up quick fordman
.... I'm soooo fighting my shop foreman instincts that want me to give you a lecture about the tennis shoes ...


getting burnt in between the toes is not fun,bashing the crap out of your foot when you've cooked part of it doubly so...thats why i love my steel toed welding boots
i should add : i still manage to burn the crap out of myself,but not as often as i probably should..

Nah, we wanna see a video of you walking!

Sorry to hear that...but it does come with the territory. I was pulling some parts yesterday at the U-Pull-It from a truck with a smashed-in windshield, and accidentally stuck my hand right onto a pile of tiny glass shards. I spent several minutes pulling pieces of glass out of my hand.

Bummer dude but youre not the only one I burned the he'll outa my left forearm yesterday while working on the crew from hell

Don't move the BBQ after you have had it started, while barefoot.. Just saying, the little hot coals will sneek out the bottom and your tender feet will find them. The cool (HOT) thing is when they contact the bottom of your foot they burn in and will not just brush off. By the time you do dig them out of your foot the damage will be done.

Just saying!!!!

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed...

I haven't done anything dumb lately and am about due.

i dont know but it better hurry up and start healing. and stop hurting.

[UNCLE BOO]

OUCH! That has to hurt! That's the trouble with feet.....you have to keep using them!

Try putting Polysporin on the burns and scrape. It will help it to heal faster, and disinfect the injuries. Then try taking an Advil (or equivilent) just before bed....to take the edge off the pain and keep the swelling down, so you can get some sleep.

I once accidentally kicked a plastic 20 gal gas can with a bare foot. I broke a toe and nearly tore the nail off! I had to sleep with that foot outside the bed covers for a couple weeks, because I couldn't stand the pressure of even a sheet against that toe!

"Time heals all ills", as they say! It just doesn't seem to happen fast enough, though, does it!

I hope your luck improves!

Well, let's see. I spent a Saturday afternoon in my friend's pool downing screwdrivers and rum-cokes. Now I have a vicious sunburn and have to sleep on my stomach...

so we are working this evening. and instead of my wife going around the truck. she tries to squeeze in between me and the other truck behind me. and what does she do. she steps on the end of my shoe. almost getting pressure on my foot. that was lucky. the skinned part of my toe isnt looking good at all.

don't feel to bad fordman.My brother cut about a 1/4 inch off his index finger with a electric miterbox the other day and two days later he shot a 1and1/2 inch brad nail threw the healing part of the cut finger.It went dead center of the cut and out the other side of finger.OUCH!!!!

[fordman]

juesus christ. that had to hurt like help.

[Ranchero50]

Wow, Ok Fordman, no more threads about injuries because....

I JUST GOT STUNG BY A BEE DAMMIT.

And I think I'm allergic to them. He didn't leave his little present in my arm but it sure is a throbbing. Wifes birthday, stung by a bee while cutting wood, steaks are probably undercooked too. Man life sure has a funny way of coming at you all at once...

hurry and get soem mud out of the ground. or dirt and wet it down and make mud. smear it over the sting fast. the faster the better. it will pull out the hurt of the sting.
